[Commlist] New issue of SoundEffects journal published

SoundEffects vol. 10 iss. 1: Sound and Listening Spaces
edited by Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen and Therese Wiwe Vilmar.

At the core of contemporary sound studies is the understanding of sound 
as a spatial medium.  The  longstanding  conception  of  the  temporal 
 art  form  of  music  can  be  said to have shifted to a broader idea 
of a spatial medium of sound. Since what has commonly been called ‘the 
spatial turn’ in the second half of the 20th century, space has  been 
 studied  from  many  angles  and  has  generally been  considered  a 
 social,  political  and  cultural  construct. This shift in the notion 
of space has also affected the perception of artworks that are taking 
place in space. Whether we listen to the sounds of natural or urban 
environments, online playlists, audio books, curated sound art or Muzak, 
or we experience the tingling sensations of ASMR, we find ourselves as 
listeners, positioned in an affective space filled with sound and at the 
same time created by sound – a social construct. Such listening spaces 
are central to this special issue of SoundEffects.

SoundEffects (http://soundeffects.dk) is an open access, international, 
peer-reviewed journal on sound and sound experience operating on the 
Open Journal System. SoundEffects brings together a plurality of 
theories, methodologies, and historical approaches applicable to sound 
as both mediated and unmediated experience. The journal primarily 
addresses disciplines within media and communication studies, 
aesthetics, musicology, comparative literature, cultural studies, 
psychology and sociology. In order to push the boundary of 
interdisciplinary sound studies into new areas, we also encourage 
contributions from disciplines such as health care, architecture, and 
sound design. As an international journal taking a humanities-based 
interdisciplinary approach to sound, SoundEffects is responding to the 
increasing global interest in sound studies.
